To think it's weird that chippies aren't open on Sunday evening

[LaurieFairyCake]

this has always baffled me

Its a weekend night, why dont they shut Mondays/Tuesday's when no one wants take away.

I've had to order Chinese instead

You have not lived until you have drunk Great Wall wine

I'm in walking distance of three chipshops, two open on a Sunday, but the one that doesn't is the best chip shop. There are also two chinese and two curry places, again within walking distance, oh and a Caribean place and a couple of greasy spoons.

I've also found a kebab place that delivers from 12pm, so it's not unknown for lunch to come from the kebab shop.

In fact dinner 25th December was from a kebab place.

As for Sunday roast, I like that too, but I have also found a carvery that does take out.

Is it anywonder I'm fat?

EdithWeston we always had a bottle of Great Wall with our Chinese meal unfortunately restaraunt owner retired and closed down.

I could never understand chippies being closed early.My cousin lives in London and i could never get my heard round it.They would open at 10 in the morning and close at 6 or 7 at night.

Im in Dublin and its un heard of.also no chippers over there would sell curry sauce.Weird.
Whereas here chippers would open at 12 and stay open till 12 or 1 in the morning.Sometimes 3 o clock.

also no chippers over there would sell curry sauce

If you mean London - yep strange but there are places where chips and curry sauce is a normal order.

YANBU. I always fancy chips on a Sunday, just to be disappointed Our Chineses are always closed on a Monday, which is when I fancy noodles. Damn them all!

The best chip shops sometimes seem to have the strangest opening times. One where I grew up only opened for a few hours each night, about 4.30 to 7.30, but its reputation was such that there would always be a queue of a dozen people outside. They'd shift more fish and chips in 3 hours than other places would in 24.

We don't get chips and curry sauce or mushy peas think its an English thing always like it when I go back down south.

Yes i meant London not having curry sauce in the chipper.But i used to love saveloys they were yum.Cant get them here.
